The Seasiders head to White Hart Lane today with their Premier League status hanging by a thread.

Ollie’s boys have managed just one win in their last 15 league games, have not won on their travels in 2011 and are only out of the drop zone on goal difference.

And Holloway is considering going without main man Adam for the vital match at Spurs.

The Blackpool chief believes that the focus on Adam, who wanted to quit Bloomfield Road for Liverpool in January, has caught up with him.

The Scotland star has admitted that his form has dipped in recent weeks as the Seasiders have slipped into a dogfight.

Holloway believes that the playmaker is trying too hard to drag his team to safety by playing Hollywood passes rather than keeping it simple.

And Ollie could rock Blackpool by opting for Andy Reid or Ludovic Sylvestre today.

He said: “I don’t think he’s ever played under so much pressure in his whole life and he’s never wanted to do something for a group of people as much as he wants to do this.

“I’m amazed at how it didn’t affect him before, I’m amazed that he played like a dream, played even better, and there was always going to be some sort of lull.

“He’s only human, I’ve been trying to play him through it and I’ve got to decide whether he isn’t doing it well enough, whether he needs a break.

“I’ve got someone like Reidy or Ludo who can come in and pass it and maybe be a bit more focused.

“I’ve got a big decision to make. I’ll look at it and Charlie will be the first one to know.”

Holloway has slammed Alan Shearer after the pundit claimed Adam might have missed his chance of a big move.

The Seasiders manager has told the ex-England captain he is out of order.

And the boss still expects Adam to have a great career – even if he looks set to leave Bloomfield Road this summer.

He added: “Last week Alan Shearer said he hopes that Charlie’s time hasn’t passed him by.

“Come on, son, yours has because you’re finished playing now but his hasn’t. He’s 25 so what are you talking about?

“I don’t know if Charlie even heard it but I think it’s out of order.

“It’s a throwaway comment and there’s nothing behind it. How does he know? This boy is going to be a very, very influential player for every club he plays for. He will play regularly everywhere he goes.”
